My car has 82500 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

This may be a variety of potential issues. I would start by checking the oil to see if there are traces of water in it. Also, check the water to see if you find any trace of oil it it. If either of these are true, you may have a blown head gasket. I would recommend having an expert from YourMechanic come to your home to diagnose the car’s overheating issue and make necessary repairs.
